were directed numerous shafts of wit,
while the lady members received their
share of compliments.

l.. A. Fisher is to-day moving his
household goods, by car, to Oakley. The

It is with regret that the Carvings record
the departure of such early settlers, and

prises to benefit our town. The ladies Of
Oakley are to be congratulated upon re-
ceiving so pleasant an acquisition to their
number in the person of Mrs Fisher.
May Mr.. Fisher and family find many
friends in their adopted home.
